Atrial Fibulation?
It’s an irregular heart beat, check into it.
It feels like a flutter in the heart.
Mine is controlled fairly well by a few pills.
No, @unclewilbur , the 10-lead they ran at the time of the stress test showed a perfect NSR. A bit over a year later, I felt as if I was having palpations and I could actually take my own radial pulse and feel a skipped beat and confirm that by listening with my steth, and I initially thought of PVCs. I called the VA and they said they would pay for me to go to the ED and get checked, and there they ran a 12-lead for a while and told me it was perfect . . . no A-fib or PVCs or anything else. I said, "But doc, I can check my pulse and feel a skipped beat intermittently," and the ED doc said, "You want my advice?" And I was like, "Of course I do!" He said, "Quit checking your pulse!" Anyway, whatever I was experiencing was not happening when I was hooked up to the monitor.
After that the VA ordered a monitor for me to wear for a few weeks, and the results came back as occasional runs of SVT, which is a junctional rhythm but generally benign. However, I do remember from the classroom that V-tach (which is "usually" NOT a benign rhythm) usually devolves from a junctional rhythm.
Anyway, I am still here, but as I typed previously in this thread, I do not have a death wish, and most days when I wake up, I’d like to live until at least the next day.
